NOVEMBER 17 2015 - (Halifax, NS) – The Halifax Regional Municipality is pleased to have initiated the next phase of the Centre Plan public consultation process, one of the most exciting and impactful municipal planning processes to be undertaken since the HRMbyDesign Downtown Plan approved in 2009.

The Centre Plan is phase three of HRMbyDesign, following the establishment of the overall Regional Centre vision and principles in phase one and the creation of the Downtown Halifax Plan in phase two.
